Hi Gary.

Great site, really useful stuff. In August we're planning to stay at the base overnight and climb during the day. This will mean getting a shuttle bus first thing from Kawaguchiko station.

However, they are not very frequent and as you cannot make reservations I was a little concerned about being able to get on one. We are hiking on a Monday and I guess not many people start the climb first thing in the morning but given the time of year I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Many thanks
Vicki
